"When I was a boy," he says, "the name of William Booth came to me on the breath of laughter and sneers. He was a humbug, a mountebank, a fool, a' rogue, a coarse-minded, self seeking, and blasphemous character, "l saw pictures of him, and dis- liked him horribly. What a dreadful n----a Svengali of the religious tub! I can see those pictures now, They represented a tall man in a passion, the face pale, the eyes blaz~ ing," the oily black bair disordered, the clenched right band raised fur- fously above his head, the frogged coat flung open, the red Jersey shine ing fanatically. And underneath there was always a text about Hell re. "Later in life, I must have been about eight-and-twenty, .1 met this extraordinary person.

On the last of these occasions he was biind. He sat close to me. I could feel the strain | of the old man's soul as he struggled to make me realize the agony of God for the salvation of the human race. That day I loved the man, but with no sense of his greatness. "When it came to writing his life, that is to say, reading his private diaries and his more sacred letters. I found myself in a very different frame of mind. There were days and days when he seemed to me the truest-hearted and the profoundest- minded man of his century. I could not help feeling that he towered above such seratchers of the surface soil as Gladstone, and was infinitely nearer to the tremendous secret of Christ than Newman. 1 kept asking myself: Suppose every man had done what he demanded? For example, who will deny that this revivalist did not see the uttermost truth of politics when he said, 'You cannot make a phn clean by washing his shirt'? "I began to see more clearly what was his aim. The dogmas which ruled him, and which once had both- ered me, slipped Sula sight, I saw that he was simply hangering and thirsting for the happiness of human~ ity. I saw that le had embraced re~ ligion because God had flashed into his soul the sublimest truth of human life, and because he knew that with- out a change of heart, without a new a= birth of the spirit, no man can be happy. There were moments when a Tolstoyan spirit of self-annihilation Ma hiner y almost took possession of me. I had to fight for the discriminating and critical spirit of the blographer; and when I had got it I felt farther from the Kilgdom of Heaven, and wonder fully insignificant.

SEEKING NEW BANKERS, Canadians Make Fewer Deposits ir Postal Department. There is at least one money-savin institution in the Dominion wick waning and not waxing. It fz post office savings bank, and whi the amount of money deposited ! his institution is not rapidly deeli ng, it has, however, during the ls: ew years steadily diminished, the to-' 21 now being $35.810,419, compa *d with $43,728,942 six years ago- decline of $6,918,623. The explanation of this decpeas 3, of course, the increasing tendenc n the part of the €anadian peop eo deposit their savings with th hartered hanks of the country. An there is more than one reason fo his tendency. In the first place, th chartered banks afford easier facil! ties for both opening accounts ans withdrawing deposits. In the second lace, banks are more numerous tha post offices. there AK. nn ~A80 to the head offices, something like 2,500 branches scattered throughout ! the country. As a matter of fact, a | branch bank is to be found within a few minutes' walk of most city and town homes. Still another fac- tor that is helping to turn deposits from the post office to the chartered banks is the newspaper advertising which the latter employ for the pur- pose of attracting savings. While during the six-year period there was a decline of 16° per cent. in the savings deposits with the post office, there was, on the other hand, an increase of over 100 per cent. in those with the chartered banks, the latter amounting to $1,262,746,984, compared $626,199,470 at the close of 1913. 1 The post office savings banks have, i however, well served their time and generation, having come into exist- ence 52 years ago, when there was great need of them. Great Britain, the mother of the postal savings bank system, only preceded Canada in their establishment by about seven years. As a matter of fact, Canada is one,of the pioneers in respect to the postal savings bank system, none of the other countries of Europe hav- ing adopted it until some years after shé had made her first venture, A Real Christian Man.

Arsenic to United States. | Canada retained its position in 1919 as the most important producer of arsenic for the United States mar- ket. Lower prices retarded Amer ican production during the year. The United States production of arsenic in 1919, according to esti- mates compiled by James M. Hill, of the U. 8. Geological Survey, Depart- ment of the Interior, was 5,000 short tons, as compared with 6,400 short tons in 1918. The imports of arsenic for the first nine months of | 1919, as, reported: by the Bureau of | Foreign 'and Domestic Commerce, | were 1,389 short tons. The imports for the year will probably amount to about 1,660 short tons. Most of the imported arsenic went from Canada and Mexico, though some came from Belgium and Japan. The quantity of arsenic available for consumption in 1919 was about 7,450 short tons, as' com, with 7,170 short tons in 1918. There were no exports either pf foreign or domestic arsenic during the first nine months of 1919. Two American companies, who pro- duced considerable arsenic in' 1918, reported to the Geological Survey that they produced none in 1919 on account of low prices.

The other day a Toronto city school superintendent promoted a teacher to the English department in the High School. He was discussing the work with her when she suddenly said, "Oh, Mr, , it's going to be so hard for me. You see I've always used so much slang and now when I teach English I won't dare use any more." "Slang," ejaculated that superin- tendent. "Well, belleve me, Alice, You'll have to cut that out how." The Japanese eat more than any other people in the world. than in selling belts.
